I for one missed Portnoys influence on the music. Not necessarily as a drummer, but as a songwriter and general arranger. I always liked Manginis drumming, including his work before DT, so I’ve always been curious how DT would be if Portnoy was involved more on the production side.

Either way, I’m happy to again be able to hear the DT i fell in love with all those years ago (well, minus Derek). I hope to see them live again soon.

Also: Metropolis Pt.3 when?

Hopefully this is the beginning of all other things becoming right with the world again, too.
